Description

A red-billed magpie perches upright in deep blue and black plumage, its long tail feathers rendered with meticulous detail and subtle striping, while delicate pencil sketches of anatomical studies occupy the left side of the composition. The warm cream ground and precise ornithological rendering reflect the scientific illustration tradition of the 19th century, capturing both the bird's living presence and its structural form. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
